Preparation

Step 1

chop the squid as described above
get ready the other ingredients – the spices can be put into one bowl and the coating stuff should be put on 3 plates
dip the squid in the flour then the egg, then the potato flour (or sweet potato flour)
after you’ve done all the squid pieces and you see the coating looks a bit wet, that means it’s ready to fry – the coating will stick well
fry the coated squid pieces until golden brown, then take it out and drain, pour excess oil from the pan
into the still hot pan put the spices in, starting with the ginger, then onion, garlic, chillis then green pepper
when those ingredients have fried and softened you put the crispy pieces of squid back into the pan and toss it and mix it all together
now it’s ready to serve, we like it on it’s own, with other dishes and also with white rice
